《林兰香》晚于《红楼梦》考论

当下学界都把《林兰香》定位于清初小说,并认为它影响了《红楼梦》。但从两书的相同之处来看,这完全不符合世界上最优秀的小说《红楼梦》的风格,因为《红楼梦》不是一般的小说。《红楼梦》借鉴了《金瓶梅》,脂砚斋已经指出,但绝口不提《林兰香》。还有《林兰香》的评点中已经出现了＂影子说＂,这其实是源于道光年间涂瀛的说法。总之,《林兰香》晚于《红楼梦》并模仿了《红楼梦》,且晚清已有人持此种观点。

LinLanXiang Written Later than HongLongMeng

LinLangXiang is regarded as a novel written in the early days of Qin dynasty. Some people think LinLanXiang has influence on the HongLongMeng. In fact,it is not true. ZhiYanZhai had pointed that HongLongMeng made use of JinPingMei but he never mentioned LinLanXiang. The YingZiShuo which has in the LinLanXiang’commentaries stems from TuYing who lived in DaoGuang times. LinLangXiang was written later than HongLongMeng and imitated the latter.
